S1

It was an eventful S1 Grand Prix with Husqvarna CH Racing’s Thomas Chareyre taking his second consecutive win as KTM Italia Miglio’s Bernd Hiemer built on his Championship lead courtesy of a third overall.

DRC SuperMoto Aprilia Factory’s Thierry Van Den Bosch was disqualified in heat one because of being too hot in his attack to Hiemer for first as both crashed. In the second heat VDB won but lost valuable points to Hiemer in the Championship.

VDB’s team mate Ivan Lazzarini salvaged the weekend with a solid second overall as he made a mistake and crashed in heat one. Eddy Seel and Fabio Balducci rounded off the top five with VDB being an eventual eighth. After a positive first heat in third place Jerome Giraudo crashed hard in the following heat and was immediately brought to the Santa Croce e Carle Hospital in Cuneo.

The rider is currently undergoing the necessary tests in order to evaluate his condition.

Top five overall: 1. Thomas Chareyre (FRA, Husqvarna), 45 points; 2. Ivan Lazzarini (ITA, Aprilia), 40 p.; 3. Bernd Hiemer (GER, KTM), 40 p.; 4. Eddy Seel (BEL, Suzuki), 32 p.; 5. Fabio Balducci (ITA, Suzuki), 30 p.

S1 RACE 1 Hiemer took the holeshot with VDB following and Chareyre completing a quick trio pulling away from the rest of the field. As the race went on Lazzarini crashed when he was in fourth with Giraudo also falling as Van Den Bosch tried a move on Hiemer causing the crash of both.

Hiemer and Van Den Bosch went back on the bike to take third and second respectively but later on the Frenchman was disqualified for his move and taken off the standings. Chareyre was handed victory after the crash with Giraudo moving up to third after a dramatic recovery. Lazzarini recovered as well to fourth with Seel fifth.

Lazzarini followed in second as he closed all doors to a quick Chareyre ending third for the overall victory. Hiemer held the third place until Chareyre moved past; the German was an eventual fourth ahead of Seel.

S2

Husqvarna CH Racing’s Adrien Chareyre took a solid victory on rival Gozzini’s ground as the latter fell after dominating most of heat one. TM Factory Racing’s Davide Gozzini was out for revenge in heat two and won to secure the second overall position.

A mistake by Chareyre in heat two saw his overall advantage on Gozzini slim to five points only while PMR H2O Aprilia Off Road’s Christian Iddon mounted on the podium for the first time this season. Other Husqvarna CH Racing rider Gerald Delepine was fourth with BRT’s Paolo Gaspardone fifth.

After a positive third in heat one Attilio Pignotti dropped to sixth overall due to a troubled final moto.

Top five overall: 1. Adrien Chareyre (FRA, Husqvarna), 45 points; 2. Davide Gozzini (ITA, TM), 40 p.; 3. Christian Iddon (GBR, Aprilia), 40 p.; 4. Gérald Delepine (BEL, Husqvarna), 38 p.; 5. Paolo Gaspardone (ITA, Husaberg), 31 p.

S2 RACE 1 Gozzini stormed into turn one followed by Chareyre as the duo pulled away from the rest of the field. The rest of the pack was headed by Iddon who entered a three way battle for third with Delepine and Pignotti.

Delepine moved past for third but the final lap brought major changes to the classification. Gozzini crashed and handed victory to Chareyre with Iddon also crashing out to hand Pignotti an eventual third. Iddon settled in fourth with Gozzini sixth.

Top five: 1. Adrien Chareyre (FRA, Husqvarna), 19:00.030; ; 2. Gérald Delepine (BEL, Husqvarna), +0:04.221; 3. Attilio Pignotti (ITA, KTM), +0:06.178; 4. Christian Iddon (GBR, Aprilia), +0:13.047; 5. Paolo Gaspardone (ITA, Husaberg), +0:15.668

S2 RACE 2 Being a man out for revenge Gozzini dominated from the start to the flag winning his only heat of the day. Chareyre made a mistake while battling with Gozzini and stalled the bike at the exit of the sky section.

The mistake saw the Championship leader drop down to an eventual third as Iddon took the silver medal. Occhini took a solid fourth after a final lap defense from Delepine – the defending Champion also stalled the bike at the sky section ending fifth behind the Italian young gun.

Top five: 1. Davide Gozzini (ITA, TM), 19:03.356; ; 2. Christian Iddon (GBR, Aprilia), +0:03.877; 3. Adrien Chareyre (FRA, Husqvarna), +0:06.540; 4. Andrea Occhini (ITA, Husaberg), +0:08.663; 5. Gérald Delepine (BEL, Husqvarna), +0:08.837

IN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS STANDINGS

Hiemer brought his advantage in the S1 Championship to 29 points from Van Den Bosch. There will probably be a dogfight for the runner up spot in Greece with VDB, Chareyre and Lazzarini spread in seven points.
